And do they react to the bell the same way a flight attendant does (ignore or scowl)?
No, it usually works very good.

Some restaurants also have standard buttons for what you want to order more of, so you'll have buttons for:
- Waiter
- Soju
- Beer

Awesome.

I would like to purchase a "more beer" button for personal use, please.

Not true in huge swaths of Europe where I think they'd let you sit there until they close up for the evening.

When we dine in Europeans with locals they seem to be able to get the check through some secret signal that we haven't figured out.

The most amazing thing to us are the places where once they've served your last course its like you no longer exist - impossible to even make eye contact to let them know you need something. One could scream, I guess. Waving one's arms around won't work since you "don't exist".

Well, maybe the offerings will expand over time to include something I might drink. Wouldn't it be great to have it delivered to your table in a restaurant so you could explain to the server that he had allowed your glass to sit empty for too long and you got tired of looking for him.

Seriously, one of my pet peeves is having to stop another server and say "if you see my server anywhere, could you have him/her stop by my table when he/she is finished with his/ her 30 minute long smoke break".

My favourite are the izakaya-style places with touchscreen menus. Push a few buttons and more booze and fried chicken are delivered a minute or two later. Another button to request the bill. ^
